Decorah is such a vibrant little town! There's a lot to do no matter how old you are. The parks are well tended, and the entire town has so many beautifully kept historical buildings! Just walking down the street and seeing all of the beautiful old houses is so lovely. I also really like the farmer's market every Wednesday, where locals gather around to sell their lovingly crafted goods.
It is a very cute and welcoming town! It has many very stores with high quality items and good prices! There are multiple places to eat and all of them are very good. It has a very welcoming atmosphere.
This small town has character. Cute little shops, great grocery stores, and super nice people. While Decorah is a tiny rural town, nothing stops it from being just superb! Lovely atmosphere.
